Body Contouring

Post bariatric body contouring

Post-bariatric body contouring is a specialized set of surgical procedures designed to address the physical changes and excess skin that often result from significant weight loss. After substantial weight loss, whether through bariatric surgery or other means, many individuals experience loose, sagging skin and remaining pockets of fat that can affect their body shape and overall appearance. Post-bariatric body contouring aims to refine and sculpt the body to enhance its contours and restore a more youthful and toned appearance.

These procedures are tailored to target specific areas that commonly suffer from excess skin and fat, such as the abdomen, thighs, arms, buttocks, and breasts. The goal of post-bariatric body contouring is not only to improve aesthetic outcomes but also to enhance physical comfort and functionality.
